The atmosphere in the city became increasingly strange.
Although there was nothing on the surface, everyone seemed to have learned something from the guard's tacit expression and the inexplicable increase in the number of outsiders.
I raised my head and looked at the sad-looking boss, simply put away the goods, and then walked out the door.
Then, I met an unexpected person on my way out.
"Hey, Boss Lin, long time no see!" The familiar-looking person raised his hand and said hello to me, "Oh, and Miss Kellas is here too!"
The person in front of me is quite enthusiastic, but I can't remember who he is.
After reacting for a long time, I found his name in the few memories I had.
"Are you—Dr. Marley?"
"After thinking about it for so long, you have almost forgotten it, right?" Marley smiled and seemed not to blame him, "Ah, but there is nothing we can do about it. After all, our professions have no overlap. To use a common saying, it's ' Duckweeds meet and separate, right?"
"No, no, no matter what, it's certainly a good thing to know a pharmacist, haha." I said awkwardly.
If I had to say it, it was because we met by accident, and exchanging names was just a basic courtesy.
Of course, just talk about these things in your heart.
"Speaking of which, I happen to have a mission and want to go to the Adventurer's Guild, but if I meet you now, can you help me?" Marley smiled and raised a piece of tissue paper in his hand, with faint ink stains on the back. It seems to be recording something.
Sorry, I haven't been an adventurer for a while.
"Sorry, I have some tasks, so I can't accept it." I said tactfully, "If I can, I really want to help. Unfortunately, the current situation is completely beyond my ability."
"Really?" Marley looked quite disappointed, "The local medicine store has no medicinal materials due to the tight war situation on the front line. Now is a critical moment. If there is no medicine, we will be in trouble."
Although I really want to help out and make some extra money, now is not the time.
I sighed and said, "Please find another way."
"Sorry, I was too abrupt." Marley nodded lightly, turned and left without saying anything more.
Looking at his back, Kellas suddenly said: "It's rare to meet a good person like you."
"Am I a bad person? I'm obviously very ruthless."
Kellas said seriously: "According to our custom there, you should be called Holy Mother now."
······This is too much!
I sighed and said, "Okay, okay, I'll try to be as hard-hearted as possible."
To be honest, this kind of thing is considered a habit on earth...
It's something that's hard to change even if you come to another world.
"Hey, no, no, no." Kyle Russ chuckled, "I think this is actually quite good. The main reason is that only people like you can tolerate others! I'm telling you, our boss is swishing, and if you mess with him If I’m not happy, I’ll have to be put in solitary confinement. It’s fine now, no matter how hard I try...”
Mainly because I can't beat you, or else I would too.
I replied expressionlessly: "That's okay."
But at this time, it is really surprising that he is still thinking about rescuing animals.
But, it doesn't have much to do with me.
I turned around and walked toward the carriage, but I bumped into a pedestrian passing by in a hurry.
The person who came was very strong, so in the end they bumped into each other firmly.
He seemed to be carrying some hard objects, so the collision still hurt a bit.
Although a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, he didn't say much, just apologized hastily and left.
"He's a professional."
I turned my head and looked in the direction where the person left just now, but that person had disappeared into the bustling crowd.
"You should see a lot of professionals, right?"
When he turned around, he saw Kellas' confused face.
"It's indeed very common, but his physique - well, he doesn't seem to be the type to be a spy." I thought about it and felt that I was probably neurotic.
After all, there are many unfamiliar professionals in this place now. If I really want to doubt which professional is a killer or a spy, it's not my turn.
This is what Vettel needs to do.
And I just did it casually.
After all, there are not many things that can be justified and done without feeling guilty.
I shook my head and finally got into the carriage.
only……
When I close my eyes, I always feel that there is something that I have overlooked.
Kyle Russ’s urging voice sounded, but at this moment, I suddenly thought of something that was also familiar to me.
"...That touch is the bottle of medicine!"
When they collided just now, there was indeed a flash of reflection, which looked like a glass test tube.
"Ah? Are you a pharmacist?" Kellas tilted her head, "Did you say you came to see Marley?"
"It's possible... but Marley doesn't have anything worth finding, right?" I frowned slightly.
"No one except the pharmacist would use that kind of thing." Kyle Russ shook my shoulder and said, "It's better to go shopping quickly and prepare to make dinner!"
...In fact, in addition to pharmacists, adventurers also carry potions with them.
But it is indeed rare for adventurers to bring such things in the city.
And...witchers also bring potions.
I squinted my eyes slightly to try to distinguish where that person was from the crowd, but he disappeared like a drop of water melting into the ocean.
"Let's go back."
I said.
By the time we got back to the hotel, it was getting late.
Teresa ran out of the house. I reached out and touched her head and said with a smile, "There is nothing special today, right?"
"Well... there was a knock on the door today, but I didn't open the door." Teresa said obediently, "Sister Kellas and Brother Lin are not here, so I didn't dare to open the door."
Having this kind of precautionary mentality makes me feel more at ease.
"If you knock on the door, it's probably the same spy as before, right?" I said helplessly, "People these days really like to run to small places..."
"Did Teresa do something wrong?" She looked nervous and grabbed her clothes, looking at me helplessly.
"No, this is the right thing to do." I smiled and said, "After all... your identity is too sensitive. It is better to avoid contact with strangers without us present."
Teresa finally laughed.
"Yeah! Brother Lin, I know all this!"
"Absolutely...I will never let you worry!"
